British PM sorry for ‘disrespectul’ comments to female MPs
‘ It’s my fault, I’ve got to do better’ :
UK: British Prime Minister David Cameron has apologised, in an
interview published on Sunday, after he was criticised for being
disrespectful in comments he made to two female lawmakers.
Cameron came under fire after suggesting Nadine Dorries, a lawmaker
from his own Conservative party, was “extremely frustrated” and telling
opposition Labour MP Angela Eagle to “calm down, dear.”
But he insisted in an interview with the Sunday Times newspaper that
he was not “one of the lads” and admitted he had made a “terrible
mistake” by making the remarks during two recent sessions of his weekly
grilling in parliament. “It’s my fault. I’ve got to do better, I totally
accept. I’m the one who’s got to explain who I am and what I’m like and
what I think,” he said.
